This Year 4 Evaporation Recording Worksheet supports pupils in carrying out a simple investigation into evaporation by exploring how temperature affects drying time. Pupils follow clear, step-by-step instructions to soak and hang socks in two contrasting environments before measuring and recording changes in weight over time.

This activity can be completed independently, in pairs or as part of a small group, making it ideal for developing working scientifically skills. There are plenty of opportunities for pupils to make predictions, compare results and explain their findings using scientific language.

Perfect for use alongside our What are the Differences Between Evaporation and Condensation? Investigation PowerPoint.
